The Post Punk Monk Notes The Analogue Warmth Of Jeffrey Runnings’ New Release

The Post Punk Monk has been getting into the recent string of releases by Independent Project Records, and has reviewed the new posthumous set Piqued from legendary For Against frontman Jeffrey Runnings. The set was recorded on an 8-track cassette machine, leading to a very specific warmth. The Monk writes, “The significant bleed between the instruments and tracks, all using a heavy arsenal of phasers, flangers, and reverb, made for a vibe that had been marbleized from its individual components into an amorphous Rococo swirl. Were those treated guitars or cellos? Synths or flutes? Tellingly, this album sounded like it could have been made with just a Mellotron and a lot of determination. The sonics were 4AD by way of the late 60s.” Read the full review here.
